Author's Note: Stasimon in the ancient tragedy was the choir's song between the episodes.
Stásimo pró̱ti̱
"So… You finally came here, my beloved Athena?" asked majestically looking God in the front of the lavender-haired girl.
"It's been a while, father," said Athena with the smile on her young, beautiful face.
"How is your playground, Earth?"
"It was really fun to be there, until your brother started to kill my people and my dear Saints."
Zeus laughed like a good-natured father that heard the cry of his beloved daughter when someone broke her toys.
"Sometimes Hades is acting like child, really," Zeus murmured after he mastered his laugh. "But if I'm right, they raised their hands against him."
"Oh, yes, they did what I ordered, father. They acquitted themselves very well. I'm proud of them."
Athena smiled wider to his father. The most powerful God got pleased much more seeing this smile of his beloved daughter.
"I think, I will stay here for a while…" she said resonantly.
"That's great, Athena! I'm really glad. I think that your brothers and sisters will be happy as well."
"I can't wait to see them too. But… I have a favor…"
Zeus sighed. He expected something like that. But he would be happy to give her what she wanted.
"What do you desire, darling?"
"I would be very happy if you would revive my Saints, father."
Zeus saddened.
"But Athena, you know that they committed the inexcusable sin. All of them. They have to be punished for that."
"I know that very well. But try to understand, father. What's point of punishing them, when I ordered them to fight? They just obeyed my will, father. It is like destroying a violin because it play when a violinist want to do that."
Zeus was looking at her, considering what she said.
"And you had a fun to watch like you brother was beating up by some mere humans."
God laughed bluffly.
"That's right. It was fun to watch like that shrimp couldn't manage to win against a few humans with armors."
"Besides they save me… After all, Hades wanted to kill me with that vase. I think it should be considered as the good deed. If Hades succeeded I wouldn't be able to see you again, father."
"Oh, I never thought about that… I think you are right."
"Then…? Could you do that for me?"
Athena managed to smile much more widely, and innocently. Like little kid, that is asking for a few sweets.
Under that smile, Zeus sighed with resignation.
"I will do that for you, my little Athena. I will revive your little toys on Earth. But will you stay here for a while?"
"Of course, dad. I will stay here as long as you want."
There was incredible darkness and quiet. I couldn't sense any of my fellows, nor you, Camus. I couldn't sense anything. Oh, would I stay here for eternity? Is it the punishment for fighting against the gods? Oh, Camus, I whish I would sense just you. I'm so afraid of being completely alone in this darkness…
So afraid…
And then… I opened my eyes and saw the stone ceiling of my Temple.
